In Democratic Party Board member Kelli Wegener’s effort to knock Republican Mike Buehler out of the Chairmanship of the McHenry County Board, she had a secret weapon.
What was it?
A team of supporters making significant contributions including some contributing smaller amounts that totaled more than $150.
I’m guessing that a number did not meet the $150 threshold requiring making their names public, because Wegener collected $8,741.68 in that category.
The following individuals, including Wegener herself, plus The No McHenry Pit Movement did exceed that amount:
- Robert Beltran, McHenry – $750
- Elizabeth Boyle, Seattle, WA -$500
